Aside from the Hip Hop veterans that are still kicking it and keeping it real, most of the new generation rappers do not have the street credibility of a Lyricist. Entertainers yes! Artist yes! But to confer a rapper with the title of a Lyricist is way more than just rapping and rhyming on beats, a lyricist is a rapper that spits,bust,flows and drops bars that we Hip Hop heads call 'GAME'.Those are the dudes that mainly do conscious rap. Hip Hop has lost a lot of its consciousness, if not for rappers like Nas, Talib Kweli, Common and a few others who still spit ideological lyrics in today's Hip Hop reminding us of when rap was truly Rhythm And Poetry. In this new generation of rappers, only one rapper stands out with the perfect definition of a Lyricist, and his name is WALE.Wale got game, literally speaking he is a lyrical genius and is on his way to being one of the greatest rappers
in Hip Hop hall of fame. listening to his flows reminds you of how glorious Hip Hop used to be, his voice and his vocal delivery combined with the knowledge that comes with the interpretation of his lyrics puts him in a zone, a class way above other rappers in the game right now and i mean lyrically, its not about album sales or media hype, any big record company can get that for their Artist, but when we talk about music content, it takes a gifted rapper to get genuine recognition for the work he put in on his music, and Wale has come this far mainly because of the quality of his art not hype or publicity boost. Everybody loves Wale, well except the haters, and as the days go by, the haters are switching camp from being critics to fans and stans.
